Fog computing (FC) is an emerging multitier paradigm that integrates cloud computing towards the edge of the network. In particular, FC refers to a distributed computing infrastructure confined to a limited geographical area in which some applications/services exploit proximate end-devices located at the edge of the network. The mission of FC is to improve energy-efficiency as well as to reduce the amount of data that need to be transported to the cloud for massive data processing, analysis and storage. However, being FC in its infancy, several issues and relevant challenges are still open. Specifically, critical aspects involve latency-sensitive and energy-efficient applications, where the end devices might not be appropriate since decisions/reactions must usually be taken in a very short time and energy and power constraints constitute a limiting factor. Computational intelligence (CI) constitutes an umbrella of techniques that are extremely flexible and suitable for solving dynamic and complex real-world problems that can be successfully applied to FC.
This Special Issue is devoted to collecting papers on novel and efficient computational intelligence solutions for these low-latency and green applications, and novel communication/networking paradigms, in order to meet specific configurability, adaptability, flexibility and energy/spectrum-efficiency constraints.
This Special Issue solicits papers that include, but are not limited to the following topics:
- Networked computing architectures and infrastructures for fog computing
- Energy efficient solutions for fog computing
- Joint optimization of distributed communication and computing resource management in fog computing
- Standardization of fog computing architectures
